Taqueria De Diez (D/10) (Barton Hills)
The second Taqueria de Diez runs the alley original's tacos, volcanes and quesadillas, and adds grilled cactus and grab-and-go flan.1
Why go
It is the same team's second location, on South Lamar, and The Infatuation added it in October 2025. Al pastor and carne asada share the menu with chicken and grilled cactus, and the desserts sit ready to take away, flan and Mexican rice pudding.1 The downtown original is the one behind the bar ReyRey, where you pass a disco ball into the alley and a giant trompo turns al pastor at the counter, and it is the one with a score attached.2
Order this / avoid
- Order: the tacos and the volcanes, which is the menu the original built. Take the grilled cactus, since it is on the board and most taquerias in this city are not putting nopal on one.
- Avoid: assuming the downtown rating applies here. The Infatuation's page for this branch says
We haven't been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists,
so this kitchen goes unassessed.1
What locals & experts say
- The Infatuation (29 October 2025): a listing with no rating and an explicit non-visit.1 The 7.6 Nicolai McCrary gave in July 2024 belongs to the downtown branch, which the same outlet files as Taqueria 10 de 10.2
- The page's own words on why there is no score:
We haven't been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

Good to know
- Which branch this is. Taqueria de Diez publishes three open locations: Downtown at 206 Trinity St unit 110, South Lamar at 2110 S Lamar Blvd Suite C, and West Lake Hills at 3736 Bee Caves Rd Suite 2.3 There is no Barton Hills branch. I read this page as the South Lamar door because the saved map pin lands on Barton Hills Drive, about 1.2 km from it and about 3.2 km from downtown.
- Hygiene: no inspection record exists for this address under this brand, which is missing data rather than a finding.4
- Timing: it runs late and takes no bookings.
Verdict
could-visit — The second Taqueria de Diez sits on South Lamar, running the same tacos, volcanes and quesadillas as the downtown alley original. Al pastor and carne asada carry the menu, with chicken and grilled cactus alongside, and flan and Mexican rice pudding sitting ready to take away. The Infatuation lists it and says outright that it has not been yet, so no score exists for this address and the downtown 7.6 does not travel. What the original earned was a comparative compliment about being better than everything within three blocks, and that argument was about downtown, not about South Lamar. It sits at could-visit until somebody rates it.
